You have to beat the Czech Republic tomorrow and appreciate what you have- good bronze medal. I remember that 20-30 years ago in Poland, anyone would have killed for a World Championship bronze medal. Don't insult your opponents, who were clearly better than you today. So much for me.

Finora ha fatto un lavoro fantastico in Romania, ma è troppo presto per dire che sia il a coach migliore al mondo. Se riuscisse a ottenere un risultati simili anche qui, sarei d'accordo con te. Purtroppo, il nostro canottaggio è in stagnazione da Tokyo 2021 e non sarà facile.

Canada is probably having a year of century in summer sports – everything works good for them. The Italian team, without fire – Longo Borghini – will probably never win World Championship gold, but it must also be write that he's not Pogacar or someone like that, who would attack alone and finish solo. These tactical races are strange for women, but last year in the World Championships Longo was going for gold, but Vollering chasing her and finally Kopecky took the gold. Pagacar, when he attacks, is unstoppable and that's the difference between a great champion and a solid cyclist, like Longo, Niewiadoma, etc.

Italy's women's team faced a similar situation: Degradi was missing before tournament and Orro and Fahr were injured during the 1/2 final against Brazil, but we still won gold. Maybe this is a results, that Velasco is a much better coach than Grbic. For me Velasco currently outperforms every other coach by about two levels: Blengini and de Giorgi, too.

We had worse teams even in XXI century: 2008, 2012, 2021, etc. In the period of 2015-2021, everything depended on Zaitsev and Juantorena: that was the Blengini era and it's great that he's now make a success in Bulgaria. Everyone is happy: Italy and Bulgaria

Nel 8 perderemo sempre contro: Regno Unito, Stati Uniti, Paesi Bassi, Australia e Germania (qui era fuori dalla finale, ma tornerà). Non c'è alcun possibilità di vincere una medaglia, e spero che il nostro staff lo capisca. È meglio creare un forte: M4- + M2- e competere su serio per medaglie che avanzare alle Olimpiadi con l'otto e finire 6/7, come l'ultima volta.

Ad oggi, abbiamo 32 medaglie quest'estate, di cui 8 d'oro. Probabilmente otterremo una medaglia di bronzo nella pallavolo questo fine settimana, e forse una medaglia Longo Borghini, ma non è una cosa certa. Per ora, 40 medaglie entro la fine dell'anno sarebbero un successo (non so come calcolare il tennis e il secondo posto nella classifica Sinner).

Secondo me, non ha senso puntare sull'8 nel canottaggio, perché lì non vinceremo mai una medaglia. Nel complesso, l'intera prestazione è stata non ottima, a parte un ottimo M4X. Due medaglie erano d'obbligo, considerando che anche Polonia e Romania ne hanno più di una qui. Speravo in molto di più dopo il lavoro svolto dalla nostro nuovo Staff technico con la Romania in passato. Ad oggi, è peggio che a tempo di Cattaneo (abbiamo perso la medaglia d'oro contro l'Olanda in Parigi, che non c'è qui). È una grande delusione. A mio parere, l'intero ciclo di 2016-2021 nel finale in Tokio è stata un grande successo, poi è iniziata la discesa (ora la categoria pesi leggeri è stata rimossa e peggiorando ulteriormente la nostra situazione). Se i Paesi Bassi tornano all'M4X, ci sarà un'altra lotta, forse per l'argento, e quella sarà la nostra unica medaglia, perché non vedo altre possibilità: la squadra femminile è praticamente inesistente, tranne una: Meriano-Codato. Al momento la situazione non sembra rosea.

I hope Finn will have a bigger career than Matej... https://www.instagram.com/p/DPE-yqVAORw/

Muscle atrophy, something like that, like SLA? Because heart disease and, for example, a heart attack, probably not? Maybe diabetes- the disease is also long and may be severe at the end of life, but I doubt it.

So, probably cancer.

This guy has cojones But of course the Netherlands will be the big favourite tomorrow in Rotterdam. https://www.instagram.com/p/DPFBO3rCFbv/

I remember who went to volleyball matches in Poland around 2000, and who goes now. 20-30 years ago to be people who knew this sport, but now it's mostly celebrities and so-called "Sunday fans" or "Janusze" in polish slang-. For example: a young lady might go to a match, take a selfie and post it on Instagram because it's trendy at now + the embarrassing music in Polish arenas- it's like a picnic rather than a major sports event.

Why not France, Germany in Europe? For example, France together with Germany or Italy + now Bulgaria can join, like in 2018, but not only Poland.

In 2002 World Champ. was in Argentina.

Eurobasket looks better in this case.

Brazil and Argentina togheter? On paper, Brazil has a higher GDP than Turkiye. Argentina is indeed much poorer than 20-30 years ago, but only 3-4 halls are needed.

Brazil and Argentina could organize such a World Champ. together.

The worst thing is that politicians and volleyball authorities in Poland don't understand that people are increasingly indifferent to the sport for some years. In 2006, when Poland reached the World Championship final for the first time over some decades, the whole country was buzzing with excitement and it was the same during the first World Championships in Poland in 2014. And now? I recently write a Polish friend asking if he was watching the Volleyball World Championships and he said, "Is there another World Championship?"

Neither Italy nor Poland will overhaul their healthcare public systems – I've already come to terms with that. It would require many years of work and the consensus of politicians of all options and in these two countries, it's impossible. It's a sad truth. Hand power over to these people, or people like them, give them at least 10 years of trust and a free hand to act, give them a majority in this ridiculous parliament and then evaluate. This is Italy's only chance.

I don`t know... The date is strange... I have no expectations. Young players need to play in Serie A; that's more important.

We recently wrote about her on the ski forum - she died young, do we know why?

It's hard to compete with Turkey, because it's practically a dictatorship - Erdogan can order money printing and investing in sports (was inflation there recently 100%?), but the Premier League in football shows that even in a free and democratic country you can pay big money to big stars, just like the NBA and NHL are other examples.

Do athletes have any to say in Russia, except perhaps in sports such as tennis and football, where they have lived abroad for many years and are millionaires? However, going to the rally with Putin was something he had to do of his own free will, so it's a more serious matter.
